I am trying to share several file structures across two PC's in the same
workgroup through my Linksys wireless router. I have shared the files on the source computer. When I go the Network window. I can see the source computer as a resource, but when I try to log in, I keep getting the following error message. "Logon Unsuccessful: Windows is unable to log you on. Be sure that your user name and password are correct." I am certain that the user name and password are correct. I am entering the Domain\User Name in the User Name field, but I keep getting the same error. What am I missing? |

I've got exactly the same problem! :cry: I have XP Pro SP2 on "source" computer, called "SUB" and Vista x86 Ultimate on "Main" computer. From "SUB" I can reach shared folders on "MAIN", but not from the opposite: I can't get in from MAIN to SUB / from Vista to XP. Connected both machines via LAN, Netgear router. This is crazy... -- SuperFreak |

Make sure no other security software blocks sharing. Or this search result
may help. Vista cannot access othersVista can't access other computers.

I searched and searched, and finally found the answer to Vista not seeing XP shared folders and vice-versa, even XP to XP in some cases. It's on the XP machine, and it has to do with File Permissions. I know this sounds stupid, but I tried EVERY trick that was out there (changing Vista's Lan Manager back to v1, making the same user on each machine, etc.) but this worked b-e-a-utifully for me. It's all about WHO owns (not just has the rights to) the folders/partition. I was silly and changed my user name months ago, which threw XP into a "hidden tizzy." when I added a new Vista machine to the works, the problem surfaced BIG TIME. Solution: I created a new user w/admin priviledges. Then I rebooted and logged in as the new user (necessary to make registry changes, etc.). Then, I copied all of the old user's Desktop, Favorites, etc. into the new account's folders to ensure I lost as little as necessary, because I'm going to kill the old account. Then, I went into the properties of EACH hard disc (from "My Computer") and under Sharing, I added the new user with full access permissions WITH subfolders, etc. selected. Then I went into the Security Tab, the Advanced... button and made the new user the OWNER of the disk, again WITH subfolders, etc. This can take some time... I did this, starting with my two data discs and finishing with the Windows System disc. It popped a few dialogue boxes asking if it was OK to assign the new user rights to the hidden Windows folders...I OK'd it on all ocaissions. I rebooted and logged in (confirming that the new user had all the rights necessary), killed the old user account, rebooted, and VOILA! I could log into it from Vista and suddenly XP could log into Vista, from both Vista/XP sides using either UNC/IP addressing and administrative (C$) or named shared priviledges. This is an OLD Macintosh (circa 1995) trap/trick that occurs when the owner's name is changed and pointers get smushed. -- A C0mputer Guru ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A C0mputer Guru's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/218006.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...ork/824127.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
